The 2nd Public SCARLET Workshop was held on 23 March 2017 in Darmstadt presented the results of the second phase of the project focusing on the scale-up and engineering of a 20 MWth pilot plant including CFD simulations of the up-scaled pilot plant reactors. Integration scenarios of CCL retrofits at various full-scale reference power (hard coal, lignite) and industrial (cement, steel) plants were assessed evaluating thermodynamics, economics and environmental impact. In addition, experimental results from CCL pilot testing in a 1 MWth pilot plant with more than 1,200 hours stable operation were presented.

We are pleased to invite you to the 2nd Public Workshop organized in the context of the SCARLET research project. The workshop will be held on Thursday, 23 March 2017, between 09:00 and 17:00 CET at the premises of the Institute for Energy Systems and Technology (EST) at Technische Universität Darmstadt (Otto-Berndt-Str. 2, 64287 Darmstadt, Germany).

The SCARLET project acquired reliable information and tools for the scale-up of the Calcium Carbonate Looping (CCL) process and engineering of a 20 MWth CCL plant by continuous self-sustaining pilot plant operation. The workshop will present experimental results from CCL pilot testing in a 1 MWth pilot plant with more than 1,200 hours stable operation as well as the scale-up and engineering of a 20 MWth pilot plant including CFD simulations of the up-scaled pilot plant reactors. Integration scenarios of CCL retrofits at various full-scale reference power (hard coal, lignite) and industrial (cement, steel) plants will be assessed evaluating thermodynamics, economics and environmental impact. Participants of the workshop will have the possibility to visit the 1 MWth pilot plant!

The attendance is free-of-charge. For the practical arrangements, please register for the workshop prior to Friday, 10 March 2017 by sending an email with your contact details to info@project-scarlet.eu.
